Balakrishna Homestay, Location: Mekeri, North Coorg

Situated under five kilometers from Madikeri town, on top of a hill, it's an amazing place to be. The approach road, (just about one km), gives a thrilling drive. It's very steep and wild. At one point I and my wife had second thoughts about whether to continue on this road or not. After proceeding about 200 meters more and there it is, a secluded house on top of a hill. The view from the place is beautiful. The house is tastefully built with a large living room and bedrooms. The balcony from the bedroom overlooks the valley down below. We were there in high monsoon and the balcony was the perfect spot to enjoy the rains.
The host, is a very warm and kind person. We were two families with kids. He brought us fruits and sweets. On our request, he had also brought required items from Madikeri town.
The food is good. The cook, Venkatesh had prepared a variety of dishes for us. The breakfast is very good. He had prepared a tasty traditional sweet wrapped in Alpinia leaf. Being from Assam, its familiar in taste. The kitchen was also accessible for us to prepare baby food.
Overall a peaceful and memorable stay. Will visit again in the future.

Balakrishna Homestay is a perfect place to stay in Coorg. Starting from the day I booked the room, The owner has been very hospitable and reachable in all means. Being a monsoon season, he guided me in understanding the weather conditions before I arrived.
Mind you guys, the road that diverts from highway and reaches the homestay (about 1 KM) is narrow and steep. So be careful and avoid climbing up or down while it is raining. I rode on Avenger 220 and had to use all my riding skills. Cars would be safer option.
Mentioning about the view from the resort, It is just awesome. Your balcony would offer you a scenic sight that you would get from best view points.
Mr. Venkatesh is care taker of the homestay and he is very hospitable. He made sure our stay is memorable.
Food is good too. Try Chicken 65.
Overall a perfect homestay which would give you all that you expect from a holiday stay.

It was a wonderful experience. The views from the rooms are just outstanding. It's equivalent to any spot at Coorg. If you love to relax and chit chat with your loved ones, just stay here whole time without visiting any other spots and you will still have a memorable trip. Food was good. Without much masala and oil with great taste, perfect food if you are traveling with kids. If you are driving to this place yourself, you will enjoy the short drive up to the homestay from the main road. Host arranged cakes for the kids, just like that. They were super happy with that cake cutting ceremony. Highly recommend this place for its view, surroundings and hospitality.

Wonderful Experience! Never expected that the homestay would be such a homely place. Reaching this place is one of the best experience and thrill ride. Owner of the homestay Mr Baboo ensured that we are comfortable and having a great time there. Food was excellent with selective options along with hot pre-ordered snacks for munching.

This place is located on top of a hill, which makes it an ideal location. You would be amongst the clouds and view is just amazing!
